I just wanted to chime in on the tutorial thread you have going Roseman.
I have been reading through it, even though I have read it somewhere before about 10 times lol. Great stuff.
I agree with your water opinion. I use city water that comes out around 7.5 ph, my GH nova nutes take it down to 5.6-5.8 and I'm good to go. My plant loves the city water.
I talked to the guy at my local hydro shop awhile ago about it also, he really knows his stuff. He said, basically in hydroponics since its such an open environment of all water it does not hurt to have the stuff city water may have in it. In dirt on the other hand he said it is good to go with filtered or other "clean" water options.
